While surfing the net i noticed that there were some new updates and a couple of them were for Fire Fox so i installed them while continuing to surf. Then Fire Fox froze so i thought no big deal i will just rest my computer tried to open FF again and no joy so then i decided to uninstall FF and reinstall it fresh did that rebooted and it will still no load. I am using Helena.

Your profile may have become corrupted and may have to be recreated. First try starting in safe mode and disabling your plugins to see if the iproblem lies there. Press Alt+F2 and in the Run dialog box, enter firefox -safe-mode. Once you have made your changes, close and try restarting FF. If that works, you'll have to uninstall your plugins (probably in safe mode) and re-install them. If it doesn't work, create a new profile by starting FF with the --profilemanager switch. You'll need to make sure there are no instances of FF running before trying either option.

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.

Same has happened to me tonight. Installed updates from Mint Update. If you then start Firefox I get a very small (tiny) Firefox window almost at the top left side of my screen. If I drag it out to expand it there is just an empty frame with a white background in it.

Not sure what the fix was that jamesthelibertine used, I've already uninstalled and reinstalled via Software Manager and it made no difference.

I'll try the advice in the thread and report back.
